1. As with "wireless" and "stateless" the term "serverless" is an abstraction. It is not a literal description but rather describes the abstraction. 2. API Gateway abstracts routing and http serialization / deserialization. **Every route is a completely isolated function.** 1/?

This is contentious but IMO vramming a web server into a function that handles all routes breaks this abstraction. Said another way: using express is *not* serverless. Configuring any of the following: nodes, instances, clusters or vms also is *not* serverless. 2/3

Keep this in mind when evaluating the ecosystem. There is a lot of smarmy marketing going on. Fin. 3/3

"serverless" seems to be on the path of "agile" :/https://twitter.com/iamdevloper/status/1024286607896203264 …

Literally every vendor calling every product serverless and/or 'native'

I appreciate the people fighting this battle. Personally, it makes me a bit nervous. Early in my career, I was at a conference and a famous dev I admired got up on stage and told us all about how everyone was doing "TDD" wrong. It made me feel quite bad.

Sorry wasn't accusing you of anything. Just saying I feel the overall "is x serverless?" debate is headed in a direction I've seen before.

We've definitely been here before. The problem is that we don't have our lightning rod company that can be the best practice to follow. Something like Twitter was for cloud (using AWS). We have a lot of existing companies doing serverless but no starting with serverless unicorns

I don't see that as a problem. I like the diversity of serverless stories. Feel it helps the discussion stay grounded in tangile benefits.
